The European pressing only comes in black and there was no way to print the arigato pack intentionally [NOTE: I think he/she meant "internationally"], so the packaging will be slightly different as well, BUT the printing quality will be the same.

It is worth adding that the European pressing is different in so far as it is made at a different pressing plant, although they will be using the same masters and lacquers, so it won’t show up as different.

just in case anyone's interested: even if by now it's pretty much impossible to pre-order the 4 US variants, they will all be avalaible on Shop Radio Cast on January 1st 2011 and also on the SideOneDummy store in 2011, so don't freak out and don't spend more money than necessary trying to get them

Thanks for the heads up. Pretty sure my store wasn't going to be able to get these.

from the official TGA store:"we are not getting the new 7" in the store until January 2011, which means on November 26th you will have to go down to your local indie record store and pick up a copy there"

yep there it is, thanks! and UK only.it doesn't sound like Gaslight at all in my opinion, but still great. i haven't heard the original version so i can't say if there is a big difference or not, is there?now i can't wait to get the 7"!

Just got an email for Shopradiocast saying my order will be delayed until Jan 4th. Not in that big of a hurry for them.... so I think I'm gonna just wait instead of hunting these down in record stores.

As I know it: In the EU only the black is being released now. The other colors of paper could not hold up to the folding, letter pressing and screen printing. Those will be released next week. The other three colors will then be released in the EU in January after they are shipped over.

The rest will be released in the US as usual. I guess demand is pretty high as SideOneDummy is making sure the quality of each piece remains. But don't buy on Ebay, there will be plenty around and reprints assured if quantity gets low.

Again, I am baffled at how they will make any money off these as the printing alone eats up a ton of costs (letterpress and screen print on four different papers with a sweet fold up sleeve that ends up being a mini-poster... still can't believe they fell for it).

Well now I'm relieved I'm going to London in January again. I have to preorder at one of the record stores ... really hope that works out. What did TGA do to me? I'm normally not really a collector and we don't even have a record player anymore ;o))
